Agreed. But do not ban them, they do not deserve that. Everyone has to start somewhere and some people, most people these days, start with the wrong things at the wrong place. Like this guy saying 'it was on kiteachings.bla so it's true' at the Energy Development board awhile ago. Excellent example of starting at the wrong place.
The problem is that these days, there are barely good and reliable sites about Chi. Everyone wants to learn Chi or the kinesis these days. The worst part of it is that a lot of people want to do Radical Chi. That's not that of a problem, but the bad thing about it is that Radical Chi focus on projecting Chi out of the body. And, the popular anime Dragonball Z also does. Now all these kids, and I'm talking about 12 year olds, get inspired by that, so they start taking a look on the internet for Ki sites, as they call it in Dragonball Z. Or they make a search on Dragonball Z and come across a site who teaches 'Ki'. Most Chisites these days are all based on useless techniques which are barely possible. How many sites did I see who claimed the webmaster could blow up a wall using a 'Kiblast'? How many times didn't I read about somebody who got so mad at a boy at school, and shot him with a 'Kiblast' against the wall?
Now I'm sure you can imagine how exciting that all sounds to starters who have barely an idea of what it is about.
Now that's not even the problem. The real problems are the Really Fake Guys. The ones who claim they REALLY are experienced in Kiblasting, Kamehameha's, Powerlevels, etc etc, and who are actually teaching others.
And that's how the so-called 'dbzers' came to this world. I've been hanging around on such 'kiblastkamehemahe'-boards for awhile, trying to talk some sense into the members. And yes that's exactly the reason why I hang around so often at the Energy Development board. You shouldn't be mad at them, they can do nothing about the fact that they are misinformed. They just should be helped. The ones you should get mad at are the Really Fake Guys.
To be frank I did not see a good site about Chi yet. Veritasonline is one of the few sites that has - or used to have, I saw they rebuilt the site - a reliable article about Chi. But Veritasonline is not only about Chi. The best bet would be a Martial Arts site. But then again, a lot of them are not reliable. It's just impossible to get some reliable information about Chi around.
The energy development forum is great for Dragon Ball Z fanfiction though.
Greeting everyone,
I will give this matter some thought, and hopefully come up with something to suit everyone.
With best regards,
Adrian.
how about just making a dud forum called 'Ki Techniques' or something like that... that will surely catch the eyes of the dbzers and leave the energy forum open for REAL energy work issues. or better still make the ki one and then rename the Energy Development one to something like 'NEW Development' then you wont have beginner dbzers looking for energy stuff unless they know what NEW is, in which case they might have some more sense.
cause i also agree that the dbzers are bringing down the quality of that forum.

Greetings everyone,
I have now created a forum for ki, chi, psi, Dragonballz etc. below the main energy forum. It should all be self-explanatory and I hope it serves the aspirations of everyone concerned.
In view of recent happenings I feel compelled to point out my creating this forum does not mean I endorse Dragonballz or a "following" of same. [:D]
With best regards,
Adrian.
That's great! Thanks Adrian! *flies to Psi forum* [:D]
Edit: *flies back here* With all the respect Adrian, but I don't see any of the forums you named.. Except the DragonballZ one.. *starts crying* Or is it just me..? [:(]
Sorry Nayru for being so mad. I guess I just needed to blow off steam. I used to be a bit of a dbzer myself, and I still pay the price at school
Thanks for that Adrian ^_^

No need to be sorry. [:D] Everybody has to blow steam off every now and then. *hugs him* ^.^
Hey guys.
Complain to me, rant as you wish, but bear in mind that I am pretty ticked off as I am typing this.
I frankly think we should rename the Energy Development forum into the Ki Dipshits forum. What was once a forum for help on the NEW system, help that some people still do need, has now turned into a forum for 12 year old DBZ fans to lie to eachother about their awesome powers. Like perverted men in a lesbian chatroom, these dipshits are just running around pretending to be Gokuh every single damned day, and to be frank, I'm sick of it.
Would somebody just ban these people or just teach them something for ONCE?
